After the constable from the Government Office, who had come knocking with ill intent, had left,
the Fang Family returned to peace.
Beset by both natural disasters and man-made calamities, the Fang Family seemed to be in a precarious position.
But Fang Yue had recovered.
His status as a Martial Scholar was enough to guarantee the Fang Family's survival.
Even if the disasters continued, Fang Yue could take his family and leave Shanyang Prefecture, and they would still be able to live well.
However, the visit from the men from the Government Office—though on the pretext of pressing for grain, was really an attempt to extort the family.
But the villagers of Da Liushu Village didn't know the truth. When they saw this, they assumed the Fang Family was still held in high regard by the Government Office.
They all became much more well-behaved, and the greedy light that had been growing in their eyes mostly dissipated.
In that sense, the visit had actually been a good thing.
